With the royal wedding in full swing we know Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be doing some buttering up, but where did the term come from & why do we still use it? Plus Donald Trump is all about firing people (he actually tried to trademark the term "you're fired"), so we tried to figure out who would the first person to actually fire someone? The answer will surprise you.

Where did to butter someone up originate and why do they call it firing someone?

Ever wondered how much you'd know without the help of the internet? How would you answer questions like 'who invented the high five' or 'what does OK stand for' without Googling? What if you had to work it out yourself? That's the game that We Fact Up plays - each episode we get asked questions by our listeners and attempt to work out the answers using only the power of conversation. The one rule - NO GOOGLING until the end. And have fun (ok that&rsquo;s two rules, but you get what we&rsquo;re saying). Hosted by Dave Zwolenski, Redd Peterson and James 'Martine' Blake it's the comedy/fact podcast everyone can play.
